"It's how you know you really got a home. When you leave it there's this feeling you can't shake. You just miss it."
Before the curse was broken, before the Savior stepped foot into Storybrooke and made a decision that would alter the course of her life forever, the Clock Tower in Storybrooke was frozen in time. This included the citizens of the town, however the moment Emma Swan put her name to the paper at Granny's Bed and Breakfast the hands began to wind and Storybrooke was never the same again.
Storybrooke's library was once abandoned
(or closed down by a particular Mayor) until the return
of Belle. When she had been seeking a stretch away from Mr. Gold, he had offered her to re-open the library to appeal to her adoration of books and reading. While nowadays she finds
herself helping in the Pawn
Shop, she still finds the time to act as librarian whenever
anyone needs assistance on subject materials so feel free to stop in.
Just know that whatever you choose to do, don't go into the basement...
